On debian Lenny:

{~}$> apt-cache search cursors
big-cursor - larger mouse cursors for X
comixcursors - X11 mouse theme with a comic feeling
crystalcursors - X11 mouse theme with the crystal look&feel
dmz-cursor-theme - Style neutral, scalable cursor theme
icoutils - Create and extract MS Windows icons and cursors
libxcursor1 - X cursor management library
oxygencursors - Oxygen mouse cursor theme
python-psycopg2 - Python module for PostgreSQL
uqm - The Ur-Quan Masters - An inter-galatic adventure game
uqm-russian - Russian addon for 'The Ur-Quan Masters' game
uqm-content - The Ur-Quan Masters - Game data files


So perhaps you want to try big-cursor package.

sudo apt-get install chameleon-cursor-theme

(or any other theme you like)

sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

and choose the one you like. For example I chose
/usr/share/icons/Chameleon-Pearl-Large/cursor.theme, which is large enough
for me.
